It went through a rework last Friday. Things are different now to what I told you 2 weeks ago. 

Ok. Relearn the skills . Splash damage also seems to got reduced. Is it worth to buy harpoon now?

Now magnum is for raining shots across the map, specially for defend area in RGB, CTF, ASL(Even greater on mobile with projector guide line)

 

Very old original magnum with 2k+ damage per shot is for nearby trick shots

The new magnum is quite nice now, it's much easier to gain kills.

Is now easier to deal some damage even if one misses. But the downside is that magnum is weaker now to self defending.

Hence, if you want to gain a good score, wearing magnum protections helps a lot,

Why did they change this turret? I learnt to make accurate shots with magnum but now it fires too far too easily, just a totally unnecessary change.

Currently which is the best augment for magnum to create more damage? Looks like using mortar has become useless now. What is the minimum degree for Harpoon? Is it zero degree or 8 degree?

Mortar has been kinda useless for a long time. It actually got a buff in the latest update due to having splash damage again.

Harpoon changes your barrel angle to 1 deg.

RCG is the most useless right now; it got a price increase to 245k but it is inherently worse than AGLM.

In my experience, AP Core doesn't even apply the AP effect on direct hits anymore, it's kind of sad that it just doesn't work.

Go for Adrenaline for horizontal play, AGLM for vertical play.

Honestly, stay away from buying augments for now. Devs are going crazy with changing settings right now and they're just too pricey.

None of Magnum's augments increase its direct damage. 

 

Like meow said, the best augments for Magnum currently are Adrenaline and AP for horizontal and Automated Gunpowder Loading Mechanism for vertical.

Thanks. Currently I use AGLM. What I understand from you is that harpoon also is useless. I can see lots of users who were obsessively using harpoon stopped it.

@TheCongoSpiderwhich is better for splash damage?

They all have the same splash damage distribution.

AP for horizontal

I'd still go with Adrenaline, the AP doesn't really work for me currently... Maybe I should record a video and submit it in Bugs and Glitches?

But yea in my current experience, Adrenaline is the best for horizontal. Gets you a nice increase in damage too. >:3

Fixed at 1 degree.

If that is the case, how come some harpoon have 8* degree elevation . See this video

The 1° fixed elevation was set with the latest patch update, last Friday.

Hmm I don't know then, the video could have been shot sooner though.

[LuckyLuke 111]

@frederik123456 May be. But I checked with him about the update on 1 degree elevation, and he said this is the update. Not sure, since I do not have harpoon to check

Yeah me neither, maybe someone who actually owns it could chime in  .

That is not Harpoon. It clearly states it is Adrenaline here.

If you are referring to one of the comments made on the video, he gave you the gist of what happened. 

 

"Magnum Updated"

 

Meaning it was the update that reworked Magnum. Stock, Adrenaline and Armour-Piercing Core have a fixed 8 degree angle. Harpoon has a fixed 1 degree angle currently. You probably won't find videos of the new Harpoon for some time.

That's uh not Harpoon, that's Adrenaline. Magnum's default angle is 8 deg. Harpoon was never 8 deg, it used to be 3 and then 0 and now 1.

Here is the most recent Harpoon video I could find. This was recorded before the patch on Friday 20th May, so it will show the version that had a 0 degree fixed angle with a faster projectile speed, faster reload and slower amplification. It is noticeably different to what it is now but you get the idea of how it will function compared to the other Magnums.

@Me0w_XP Just now I found that you can rotate your turret in mortor but you cannot raise or lower the elevation. Never knew about this change.

Luckylook, as I and meow have said before, the video that you shared is not of Harpoon. It is of Adrenaline, an entirely different augment.

What?

I have this augment, AGLM and RGC. I entered the game with mortar and I am unable to raise or lower it but can rotate it. Shifted the augment with AGLM and can change the elevation but unable to rotate it.
